I want more media and stories that have vampires that go to/have been to college
like I get the trope of the vampire in highschool and all but college is just such a cooler setting.
it allows more personal depth and interests to the vampiric characters just by the setting. what is their life at college like? what do they study and major in? how does this correlate with their characters?
Also it’s more realistic let’s just use the most popular vampire in high school story twilight as a example
edward Cullen was turned 17 and because he’s eternally a teenager physically that’s the reason he’s still in high school during the series but Edward as drawn in the books,in the movies,and described in the books doesn't really look 17 and could easily pass as a college student or a functioning adult with a job (yes I know the Cullens go to college they just start in highschool to stay in a place longer but still just start off with college in the first place) and even if he did look 17 someone can easily play older with how they dress and style themselves
and who would prefer being in highschool forever than in college. in college you can actually pick what you want to study,you’re a functioning adult who doesn’t need parents for everything,nobody cares about the fact you’re really pale or standoffish or don’t attend during the day
professors don’t care if you miss a class on a extremely sunny and bright day that’s not for them to care about
seriously if I was a vampire I would go to college and start studying vampiric history,mythology,and folklore just for the fun of it cause why not learn about it
(P.s. didn't know what flair to use so just picked this one)
